Top 5 Centers still available in 2021 NBA Free Agency

#3 Bismack Biyombo

Bismack Biyombo is another free agent center looking for a new team. He is an unrestricted free agent who should be available for less than $5 million a year and a decent interior threat who has fallen down the pecking order at the Charlotte Hornets.

Mason Plumlee was the starting center at the Charlotte Hornets, with PJ Washington also registering more minutes than Biyombo. He played 20.4 minutes on average in 64 games last season, averaging five points and 5.3 rebounds whilst shooting at almost 59% overall. Biyombo is a checenterter who can still make an impact off the bench for potential playoff contenders.

#2 Willy Hernangomez

The trade for Jonas Valanciunas meant the Pelicans did not need to re-sign Hernangomez. Hernangomez was already down the pecking order behind Steven Adams with the 20-year old Jaxson Hayes also expected to continue his development for the time being.

Hernangomez shot at over 58% in the NBA last season, averaged 7.8 points and 7.1 assists whilst playing just 18 minutes per game. He is another potential center who should be available on a cheap contract and can make a regular impact off the bench.

#1 DeMarcus Cousins

Boogie is well past his prime but has done enough throughout the season to prove that he still has enough left in his tank to be able to make an impact on an elite NBA team off the bench. He is still a decent all-round scorer and came up with the goods through the Playoffs as well, for the LA Clippers.

Cousins produced 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and an assist per game despite only playing less than 13 minutes on each outing. While multiple teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers have been linked, Cousins is expected to re-sign with the Clippers for the upcoming season.
